Wow Sam, that just describes my mind and i am sure most people on here can identify with it. That’s so good that your friend gave you a fiver. Now I am thinking of me here so excuse me if I am off track. This man who is losing his independence has given you a fiver for doing a task he can no longer venture out to get done. Gifting you probably makes him feel good and a little independent and of value. again I am thinking of me but I always try to think of what I can buy for others when I have a little money and i am a quite mean with myself, eg my son wears Geox trainers but I buy boots in a charity shop for me. The only thing i have money for me for is gambling!So this is just a thought but how about you go and spend that fiver on you right now..buy a magazine or a coffee and sit somewhere nice and enjoy it, or even crisps n chocolate and have a tv night. Something you would enjoy and then tomorrow tell your neighbour what a lovely time you had with his gift. He will feel even better about giving you the money, and you will have taken a step towards realising that you are so worth it!! And you are!!
